Our 17 Best St-Germain Drinks

Before we share our list of St-Germain drinks with you, we realize you may have landed here without knowing what the French elderflower liqueur actually is—although I guess we kind of just told you. To give a little more detail: The elder plant, which has a wide geographical distribution, bears large clusters of small white flowers in late spring, when they’re hand-picked by folks who work for the award-winning label. The flavor—think honeysuckle and pear‌—is then distilled. (Apparently, each bottle of St-Germain contains the essence of 1,000 fresh elderflowers.) And, by the way, the name St-Germain is for St‑Germain‑des‑Prés, a historic cultural district in Paris.

Okay, should we move on to the cocktail recipes? Here are our best drinks with St-Germain.
